Physical models of the severe-accident SAFR module of the integral EVKLID/V2 code for calculating the cladding melt relocation over the fuel pin surface

Models of the severe-accident SAFR module used to calculate the cladding melt relocation along the fuel pin surface during its melting are presented in relation to severe accidents in fast-neutron reactors cooled by liquid metal. The choice of the basic system of equations and closing relations is presented. The models are validated based on experiments on melting and flow of cladding simulator melts. The error of calculating the cladding mass loss due to its melting and flowing along the fuel pin surface is estimated.

Abstract

Models of the severe-accident SAFR module used to calculate the cladding melt relocation along the fuel pin surface during its melting are presented in relation to severe accidents in fast-neutron reactors cooled by liquid metal. The choice of the basic system of equations and closing relations is presented. The models are validated based on experiments on melting and flow of cladding simulator melts. The error of calculating the cladding mass loss due to its melting and flowing along the fuel pin surface is estimated.
